NOVEMBER 29 – LIAR

11/29 John 8:39-47
39 “Our father is Abraham,” they declared. “No,” Jesus replied, “for if you were children of Abraham, you would follow his good example. 40 I told you the truth I heard from God, but you are trying to kill me. Abraham wouldn’t do a thing like that. 41 No, you are obeying your real father when you act that way.” They replied, “We were not born out of wedlock! Our true Father is God himself.” 42 Jesus told them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, because I have come to you from God. I am not here on my own, but he sent me. 43 Why can’t you understand what I am saying? It is because you are unable to do so! 44 For you are the children of your father the Devil, and you love to do the evil things he does. He was a murderer from the beginning and has always hated the truth. There is no truth in him. When he lies, it is consistent with his character; for he is a liar and the father of lies. 45 So when I tell the truth, you just naturally don’t believe me! 46 Which of you can truthfully accuse me of sin? And since I am telling you the truth, why don’t you believe me? 47 Anyone whose Father is God listens gladly to the words of God. Since you don’t, it proves you aren’t God’s children.”
LIAR
The Evil One is always lying to us. He encourages us to shift the blame for our woes to someone else. “You only go around once so grab all the gusto you can” comes to us direct from the gates of Hell. Turn to the Lord. Ask Him to sort our your life. Ask Him to reveal your sin to you and then you confess that sin to Him. Jesus will forgive our sin and will indeed put us on the right path. “Jesus forgive me of my sin and guide me.” This is a simple powerful statement that will radically change your life.
